Be yourself. Be your best self.

Emma Willard School is a place to discover what it means to be your best self. We commend you on taking the initiative to seek out the perfect school for you. By doing so, you already show that you are ready for something more than the high school experience.

Academics

Emma Willard School's curriculum allows girls to focus their future aspirations, and equips them with the interdisciplinary knowledge competitive colleges are looking for.

Our academic program offers more than 140 courses, including Advanced Placement options, where girls engage in discourse that brings context to high-level concepts and understanding of the world we live in. Personalized study programs enable girls to dive deep into a topic or field of their choosing, and gain hands-on experience.

School Life

Education at Emma isn’t limited to the classroom—it’s woven into the fabric of our community. With girls from around the world and across the United States, and faculty and staff with a wide breadth of life experiences, you will broaden your perspective the moment you walk onto campus.

Bonds created between Emma Girls in the residence and dining halls, while practicing for an athletics match or arts performance, at one of our many cherished traditions, and all the little moments in between, define many girls’ Emma experience.

Alumnae

Wherever life takes you, the Emma sisterhood is there. Community connectedness is a longstanding Emma Willard School tradition carried on by our alumnae. Our vast alumnae network of over 8,000 unique, intelligent women spans the world, and includes Olympians, top-level politicians, high-profile CEOs and acclaimed architects.

Giving

Empower a girl, change the world.

An education is one of the most powerful gifts you can give a girl. When you give to Emma, you honor our fearless founder’s legacy, and allow Emma Willard School to offer incomparable educational experiences for tomorrow’s leaders, and in many cases, make their time here possible.

I have befriended fascinating girls from all over the world, and have been exposed to numerous perspectives since coming to Emma. I quickly learned that Emma is a place where everyone is encouraged and where everyone's talents and abilities are celebrated.
